PowerShell support on Windows has been improved with smarter shell selection and better error handling:
- Shell selection now falls back gracefully: if
defaultShellis set to "bash" but Git Bash isn't installed, PowerShell is used instead, and vice versa - The shell setting description now reads "Defaults to bash (powershell on Windows without Git Bash)"
- Clipboard operations on Windows now use proper argument arrays instead of concatenated strings for safer command execution
- Clear error messages guide users when neither Git Bash nor PowerShell is available:
- "Claude Code on Windows requires either Git for Windows (for bash) or PowerShell"
- Hook errors now suggest "Install Git for Windows, or add
shell: powershellto this hook's config"
Evidence
Shell fallback logic in g24() function — search for "Git Bash not found" and "CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
